Background

About Janet Everson

As a tax and civil litigation attorney, I focus on professional liability defense and general business dispute resolution, counseling individual accountants and lawyers, accounting firms, law firms and small to mid-sized businesses. I routinely deal directly with the federal and state taxing authorities correcting late elections, reducing or eliminating penalties or otherwise mitigating damages before litigation is commenced. I hold an LLM in Tax and am a certified specialist in legal malpractice law by the California State Bar.
